Lignite is the most heavily mined form of coal in the European Union. In the first half of 2022, the EU produced 145.5 megatons of lignite. Lignite mining is roughly four times the size of hard coal production in the EU, which reached 28.6 megatons in the same time period. Overall, coal production has decreased across the Union over the past decade.
